Time is indeed very short for decisions to be made about a person's eternal destiny.
And, like Jesus said, that the days before His return will be like the days of Noah - one day the Ark was shut and time ran out.
It will be the same with the Rapture of the Church. One day Christians will be gone, the judgment will begin, and there will be no turning back and no escape.
All we can do is keep warning and praying. Many will laugh and deny and ridicule, but many will not laugh; many will hear what Christ has said about the conditions in the world before He returns and will be saved as a result, and those are the people for whom we keep proclaiming the truth.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
THX THX.

Amen, Giovanna! We do not know WHEN, but we DO know the rapture is going to BE. When the Church the Body of Christ is COMPLETE, it WILL be raptured. And the tribulation begins. Only God knows who the last member of the Body of Christ is, and when that person is saved, we're gone. Praise God!
"...behold, NOW is the accepted time; behold NOW is the day of salvation." (II Cor. 6:1,2).
When it's complete, it's complete. If people choose to ridicule and dismiss God's Word, it's their choice. But they have been warned. They can NEVER say they weren't told. Prayer and giving God's saving grace message is what we're called to do.
Isaiah 17 fits in here also at some time. What is the sequence of events between Psalm 83, Isaiah 17, Ezekiel 38&39, Rapture?
